first humanoid robot in space!: “Kirobo off from the Tanegashima Space Center in Japan to be a companion for Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata aboard the ISS. ‘Mr. Wakata? Did you leave already, I can not wait to see you!'” (open the pod bay doors, kirobo…. (~_^) )

from china, of course! (^_^) make sure to watch the last third of the video where the robot plays against a human. (i could totally beat that robo-guy on the far end of the table in a pick-up one-on-one game of table tennis! anytime, anywhere….)
